Akron accounting firm Brockman, Coats, Gedelian & Co. has a new top gun: Co-founder David A. Brockman has succeeded James J. Coats as managing director.
Coats had been managing director since the firm's founding in 1986, when the fledgling accounting company had three directors and a staff of four. The company now has 13 directors and more than 100 employees.
Brockman as of Monday began directing the firm's overall strategy and operational direction. Coats will continue to provide advisory services for clients.
The announcement completes the accounting, consulting and technology firm's executive leadership transition.
